Descripción
Libro Zero day. This is the new heart-racing thriller from the number one International bestselling author. John Puller is a former war hero and now the best military investigator in the U.S. Army’s Criminal Investigative Division. He is a loner with few possessions by preference, but he has an indomitable spirit and an unstoppable determination for finding the truth. His father was the most decorated U.S. Marine in history, but now resides in a nursing home far from his battlefield glory. Puller’s older brother, also a military vet, is serving a life sentence in Leavenworth Penitentiary. Puller is called out to a remote, rural area far from any military outpost to investigate into the brutal murder of a family in their home. The dead husband was in the army and the wife worked for a Pentagon contractor. The local homicide detective, a woman with personal demons of her own, clashes with Puller over the investigation. What neither of them knows is what is waiting for them across the street from the murdered family’s home. It is something that will turn an already complicated case on its head. As Puller digs through deception after red herring, he realizes that absolutely nothing, and nobody, he’s so far seen in this small town, are what they seem. He is truly one man against an overwhelming force. Libro Zero day.
Raquel –
Probably not one of Baldacci’s best books but still a very good read. As many people have commented, Puller is a Jack Reacher clone but there is nothing really wrong with that. And there is an excellent and quite tense story line in there too.
I rather liked John Puller and felt a little sad for him and his Dad and brother. Puller’s character was developed well throughout the book as was that of his ‘partner’ Sam. There was a little bit of stereotyping and occasional over the top moments but mostly our two main characters got on with the business of catching the baddies and trying not to get blown up.
I would classify Zero Day as light entertainment, forgive it it’s faults and just go along for the ride. Three stars from me.
